The Dodgers starters were pretty good: the Dodgers bats went dead, not aided by Dave Roberts platooning.
Well, Buehler and Hill were good, but Kershaw and Ryu certainly weren't. Kershaw just didn't have his stuff. It happens to many pitchers on whom the team relies so heavily during the regular season.
In Games 2 and 3 (18 innings!), the scores were 4-2 (for Boston) and 3-2 (for LA), and either game could have gone the other way. In Game 1, the Dodgers scored four runs and got Sale out after four innings, but Kershaw wasn't good and then the Boston bullpen (including Eovaldi) did for them. Obviously, on the whole the Dodgers bullpen didn't deliver, either.
Very interesting that Jansen attributes his drop in performance to the heart medication he has to take.

Can't blame Roberts for trying what worked in the regular season, but the Red Sox pitchers are not NL 3,4,5 starters.
Let's hope the Dodgers management pick up Roberts' '19 option.
Successive World Series appearances don't deserve the sack.
